Pesachim 7
1) [line 5] KURDNISA - Kurdistan
2) [line 13] ISAH MEGULGELES - a kneaded dough
3) [line 18] SHE'IPSHAH - that became moldy (and is unrecognizable)
4) [line 26] MA'ASER (MA'ASER SHENI)
(a) After Terumah Gedolah (see Background to Eruvin 31:9:a) is removed
from a crop, the first tithe to be given every year is called Ma'aser
Rishon. One tenth of the produce must be given to a Levi.
(b) A second tithe is given every year after Ma'aser Rishon has been
separated. The second tithe that is separated in the third and sixth years
of the 7-year Shemitah cycle is called Ma'aser Ani and is given to the
poor.
(c) During the first, second, fourth and fifth years the second tithe is
Ma'aser Sheni. The Torah requires that Ma'aser Sheni be brought and eaten
by its owner in Yerushalayim. Alternatively, Ma'aser Sheni produce may be
redeemed, and the money used to redeem it is brought to Yerushalayim. Food
that is bought with that money in Yerushalayim becomes Kodesh like Ma'aser
Sheni and must be eaten b'Taharah.
